IBR is a blood plasma company which you can earn money when you donate plasma. Call first to have an appointment to them.

I was told that i could not donate plasma because my name on my dl has Sr. on it but my ss card did not. They refused me. Well then i guess you dont need plasma that bad. Find some place else to go to donate

HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THE PEOPLE WERE NICE AND THE PLACE WAS PRETTY CLEAN. THE PEOPLE IN THE LOBBY WERE PROBABLY HOODLEMS, BUT THE STAFF AND FACILITY WERE FINE. I RECOMMEND IT.

I called and asked for directions explained that I would be driving from Gadsden. After I sat there for an hour and 35 min. I was told that I was not allowed to donate because I live outside a 50 mile radius!

the employee turn around at this place is monthly, and a lot of them cut up all the time and cuss because lets face it, most of them came from burger king. after you have made a few friends after being in the waiting room for three hours your topics will include who you are scared of sticking you!

Don't know how their services are, and I'm not inclined to find out. The receptionist was very rude (that's to put it lightly) and dodged my questions (How much do they pay? How long is the wait?) and hung up on me so I kept calling back to get answers to no avail. Whether she did not know the answers out of honest ignorance or was just giving me the run around, I'm not sure. But it seemed shady to me. Avoid this place. There are other places to try. I would recommend calling Plasmacare Inc. instead. They even have a website if you want to check it out first http://www.plasmacare.com 2101 3rd Ave S Birmingham, AL 35233-2201 (205) 322-2400
